The [United States Department Of The Interior] does not expect aggravating these hidden assentions."
In answer, MRM Resorts International supposedly called the Cason letter "a trick" while expressing that the correspondence was an endeavor by the tribes to additionally confound administrators and people in general.
"This is not news; it's a lie," Uri Clinton, Senior Vice-President for MGM Resorts International, revealed to The Connecticut Mirror.

It's simply one more endeavor by the tribes to pull the fleece over individuals' eyes, which implies the warnings raised by [Connecticut] lawyer general George Jepsen stay as red as ever. What's more, the letter particularly affirms that any alterations to the reduced would be liable to suit under the Administrative Procedures Act, [which is] a worry effectively raised by the lawyer general."
